What did your parents make you do, that you did not want to do?

What did you want to do, that your parents didn't let you do?

What job did your parents want you to get? What is your job?

In what ways did you disappoint your parents?

they made me take the SAT in 7th grade. between 3rd and 7th grades they made me memorize 10 to 20 SAT words per week in the school year; and 10 to 20 SAT words per day during the summer.

counseling, martial arts. if it wasn't something that made me academically better, they didn't lemmie do it.

the wanted me to be a medical doctor or an electrical engineer

i've been earning minimum wage my whole "life". i am not cisgender. i have zero "friends".

I don't think I'm a disappointment to my parents so much as I've been a disappointment to myself.

When I was an undiagnosed teenager my mother wanted me to be interested in other things besides cartoons and animation. I guess she thought I would have better peer relations and it would make my life at school better. Wrong.

My therapist at the time even said my lack of interest in doing other kinds of art was being like a baby that decides never to learn to walk because they're so good at crawling. I thought that was a load of bull. Meanwhile, my brother was a good guitar player, but no one was telling him he should play the piano or the clarinet.

What did your parents make you do, that you did not want to do?
eat, that was always a struggle
gymnasticclub, sports, swimming lessons (never succeded, but much later), birthday parties
oh dentist too, he'd bore? (pierce?) as much as humanly possible every time i came,
and then i got braces and needed to go every week on my bicycle
practising piano in the old (cold) house,
work - that wasn't that bad, but at most ends there would be: the great explosion
- or one year we worked through summer holidays(as usual) and at the end on family get together dad would say we were useless- great thanks & bravo for that stunning information
when kicking me out the house- he'd say i wouldn't manage on my own (and i ruined their marriage, that was a bit farfetched all things considered)

What did you want to do, that your parents didn't let you do? idk, later probably,
another silly thing, i brought home a possible bf, just met myself and he came with me bc i had to go home, dad got a fit- its him or me, and all that jazz

What job did your parents want you to get? What is your job?
idk in hindsight i think it was a trophy husband probably,
was bound for uni but i feel i sabotaged myself ahead of that

In what ways did you disappoint your parents? see above ^^
